I am running a CentOS 3 server with a kernel version -2.4.21-40. I typically use Webmin to accomplish mounting varied filesystems, but this one has me buffaloed.
We have a Thecus N5400 that was mounted on a Mac and a ton of data was written to it. All of the data was placed in yearly folders with content-related folders below the yearly folders.
When I mount this through Webmin as an smbfs mount, all I see are these files that look something like .Apple01 and some index files. (sorry this was done yesterday, I couldn't leave the network configured and in place to connect to the N5400, and don't remember exactly what it showed). So I assume this is the way the Mac wrote the filesystem.
When I try to mount it as an Apple hfs, I get a message that the fs type is not supported by this kernel.
Might anyone have a clue as to how I can get this mounted to show me the real data the way it looks on the Mac. All I really need to do is to change the mod recursively so that older yearly folders are read only. The web interface for the N5400 has this option, but it only works on the top level yearly folder and not the secondary folders below.
Thanks for any help and I apologize for what could be OT. I guess it depends on how it is answered.

This is not a helpful reply but I believe the CentOS 4 and 5 kernels have hfs file system support turned on. If this is not the case with CentOS 3, you would have to either rebuild the kernel or compile the hfs kernel module.

Actually, this is part of what I was looking for as an answer. I wasn't sure if the kernel had that support or not and wasn't sure how to discover whether it had so or not. Unfortunately, a lot of the servers I run can't be updated regularly due to a few non-Open source programs running on them, and the time to shut down, upgrade OS, and recompile is not always there.
Thanks for the reply , and a little help towards the solution. If I find a spare machine to put a newer release on, I will proceed.
